Sharib Hashmi shared, “Even though this is Arnab's debut Hindi feature, he has meticulously assembled a team that blends fresh talent with seasoned professionals. Every day on set has been enjoyable. The film stands out uniquely in both its narrative and production approach, especially with a 24-year-old director-producer leading the project. I wish our film all the success it deserves.”
The cinematography is handled by Binod Pradhan, renowned for his work on films like ‘Devdas’, ‘Rang De Basanti’, ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, and ‘Kalank’.
Director Arnab Chatterjee elaborated, “The journey of ‘Murderbaad’ commenced five years ago when I drafted the initial concept during my college days. It draws inspiration from the romance and thrill I've always admired, but I aimed to place that atmosphere within a culturally rich setting. At its essence, the film delves into the narratives people conceal to safeguard their identities. I feel fortunate to have collaborated with such a gifted cast and crew to realize this vision.”
